My Story
I started blogging in 2017, but this blog didn’t begin to evolve into a glimpse of what it is today until 2020. As the pandemic began, I had more time on my hands and was able to metaphorically put pen to paper, and create posts and recipes and tell stories as a hobby.
I was instantly hooked on the process of creating recipes, writing posts and capturing photos for this little website, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of my weekly routine. My goal is to grow this space into a place where others enjoy spending their time and take away valuable information.
